Electronic Lodgement & Naming Conventions

The Electronic Lodgement Policy applies where Council requires electronic copies of plans and documents to be submitted for all planning, building and subdivision related applications (including any amendments and additional information). Council officers will be reviewing all registered documents to ensure they have been submitted in accordance with the requirements as identified by this Policy.

A Private Certifier Fact Sheet has been prepared which includes examples of the naming conventions requested by Council for the purposes of standardising Council’s electronic records and speeding up the registration process. All electronic documents submitted are to be clearly labelled as per the naming convention examples.

If you wish to consolidate all your registration documents into one file (NB: 20Mb limit), please also bookmark the PDF document identifying each document type within it (i.e. Application Form, Site Plans, Inspections and Approval Documents).
